Set on Quayfield Road above Ilfracombe harbour, this Victorian five-bedroom detached house sells chain-free with exceptional panoramic sea and harbour views from most principal rooms. Generous open-plan living, multiple reception rooms and six bathrooms suit multi-family living or high-end holiday occupancy. Expansive two-tier sun terraces and a Scandinavian-style BBQ lodge create standout outdoor living and strong marketing appeal for guests or leisure-focused owners.
The property currently operates as a successful luxury holiday let, with established bookings and a proven income stream. A double garage provides secure parking and room for boating equipment, while the elevated position keeps the home free from flood risk. The location is practical too: town centre shops, cafes and the harbour are within walking distance, and nearby golf and equestrian facilities add leisure draw for visitors.
Buyers should note the home’s age and construction: built c.1900–1929 with solid brick walls and no guaranteed cavity insulation. Double glazing is installed but installation date is unknown. The building may therefore benefit from targeted energy-efficiency improvements and ongoing maintenance to retain its premium market position. The immediate area records above-average crime and high local deprivation indices, factors that some buyers and guests may consider when assessing long-term use.
For investors, the combination of location, outdoor amenities and demonstrated holiday-let performance offers clear revenue potential. For families or those seeking a spacious coastal residence, the house delivers versatile accommodation, substantial outdoor terraces and easy access to town life. Prospective purchasers should verify service connections and inspect condition details prior to exchange.
